Ordinary Mind Zen Sydney offers a non-denominational approach to cultivating mindful awareness and presence in the activities of daily life. It is open to beginner and experienced practitioners and people of all traditions.The group is evolving a style of Zen Buddhism that is adapted to Western temperaments and ways of life but maintains the rigour and discipline of its traditional roots.Located in North Sydney the group meets weekly on Tuesdays from 7 pm to 9 pm more

"Zen is about an active life, an involved life.
When we know our minds well and the emotions that our thinking creates,
we tend to see better what our lives are about and what needs to be done,
which is generally just the next task under our nose.
Zen is about a life of action, not a life of passively doing nothing.
But our action must be based in reality."

-Charlotte Joko Beck, Everyday Zen
